I never claimed to be a victim of it. All I said what this mentality has driven me off from contributing/joining various groups because of the fear of these people existing in the ranks. The constantly changing rules of what is right

I've had a pet theory that a lot of these "action committees" (for lack of a better word) in tech companies are supported by the company because of that. You may want to know who in your company tends to be incendiary and kee

Would you apply this same logic to a group like Occupy Democrats? It seems like a very poor litmus test to immediately be dismissive of someone's view because of an association with (what seems to be) a political party you don't l

Making a pedantic argument on what constitutes an interpreter is silly. The title is bad. It is an interpreter. I'll continue to eat downvotes on this because of the pedantry of HN.

This really isn't fair. Just because it doesn't faithfully implement whatever standard Javascript is on doesn't mean it isn't an interpreter. All an interpreter is is something that executes a script directly rather than

In my experience once terraform moves beyond "brainless script" it becomes a massive footgun. Completely unexpected, unintuitive behavior can happen that destroys an entire cluster. You're often better at that point legitimat

I don't think social media in and of itself is dangerous. If people were doomscrolling math lectures society probably would be better off. It's the nature of social media and ad networks disguised as social media that is the probl

Shoving stuff in a 401k, IRA, SEP-IRA, etc and leaving it. As opposed to a traditional brokerage account where capital gains are charged yearly. I called it that so I didn't have to list out all the different vehicles :).

Yeah I think it comes down to preference. I have an iPad as well and a windows tablet. Both were more than sufficient for note-taking but often times I would forget to plug them in or something and suddenly I had a dead notebook. Plus I alm

Chevron deference which like firearms and several other things is how they attack the constitution while keeping their hands clean. They will probably defer to the EPA, who will make a regulation based on their suggestion. This allows them

It might be less profitable if you view cancer treatment as MRR. Actuarial tables tell you that this MRR will certainly end unless you produce remission and so I'm not sure if that is a good reason for them to not release it as a sin

I have built a lot of stuff on kubernetes. Outside of certain edge cases I've had to use almost none of the actual system administration knowledge I have. The vast majority of things are relatively simple, or can be handled via a nice

sysadmin used to be an actual title of a specific person responsible for managing the company's systems. These days it's devops, but now there are no specific devops people and it's yet another task unrelated to engineering r

I prefer pen and paper for most things. For that I'd recommend the supernote [1] with the utmost confidence. It has single-handedly changed my life. My biggest issue was I wanted to go digital (because paper sucks to handle) but my exp

You can not own anything and be a self starter. I build things because it corresponds to more money, not because I consider my project my "stake". I couldnt care less what happens to it. I will make it maintainable for my own sani

I'm not paid enough. Real ownership comes with a guarantee of future employment. Given my at will employment state I try to stay as disconnected from my work as possible. I work hard out of professional duty. Ownership is a scam sold b

As much as most people don't like to admit it this is also the reason I tend to not vigorously hunt for work in the backlog after hitting my requisite sprint goal plus a few points. Realistically bug fixing like a mad man is what makes

The counterpoint to this is if you aren't specifically assigned tasks you're basically expected to go through the backlog to hunt for things to do. In most companies the backlog is never empty and so you don't really get an

I used to think this and I don't think so anymore. Consider a company who develops the de-facto cure for a cancer. Let's say a course of normal treatment to remission cost $200,000. There's no reason this company wouldn'

I've done fasting for a while. It's not the panacea that it's touted as. I was a pretty religious (figuratively) 16 hour fast person. I have several years of bloodwork to show marginal if any changes to baseline. In some case
